Numerous studies show an adverse effect of a surfeit of sodium on arterial pressure. 4–7 By contrast, potassium, the main intracellular cation, has usually been viewed as a minor factor in the ...

These accessibilities are consistent with those inferred from open- and closed-state structures of prokaryotic sodium channels. Our findings suggest that an intracellular gate composed of a ring ...

This study adds to this by demonstrating how the 'fuel supply' is also affected. Targeting this mechanism, perhaps by lowering intracellular sodium, may not only treat the 'functional' problems in the ...

Sodium butyrate—more properly sodium butanoate—is a salt ... the researchers developed a high-throughput biosensor that responds to intracellular concentrations.

Low-sodium salt is like table salt, but some of its sodium is replaced with potassium chloride. This compound gives these alternatives a similar salty taste. Other low-sodium salt options include ...
